The global market for weight loss products and services may grow from $254.9 billion in 2021 to reach $377.3 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% during the forecast period of 2021-2026.
That suggests that losing weight is not easy—yet it is entirely possible when done right. There are two keys to success when it comes to weight loss. The first is to find an approach that works for you specifically, one that makes you feel good and keeps you motivated. The second is to take your time—sustainable weight loss happens slowly but steadily.
1. Cut Refined Foods From Your Diet
Processed foods have undergone many physical and chemical processes to change or preserve their form. They are often cooked, canned, frozen, or packaged with calorie-dense additives. These additives or preservatives are not-so-nutritious chemicals that help the food item sustain its form for extended shelf life. The substances included in these processed food items are edible but not necessarily healthy. Some of the chemicals added to the products may negatively impact your metabolic fitness. For example, a study says that high levels of ultra-processed food intake can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome by 79%.
Processed foods are slightly modified versions of fresh foods. They can be minimally processed or ultra-processed. These convenient foods typically come in a box or bag and have a bad reputation for increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
trans fat promotes inflammation and cellular stress, increasing metabolic disease risk. These trans fatty acids in processed foods disrupt liver function and inhibit insulin sensitivity, possibly triggering insulin resistance. The food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned artificial trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils.
Refined grains, a common example of ultra-processed food, have an enormous effect on your metabolic health since they spike blood sugar. The refining process can extend the shelf life but removes the nutritious bran and germ. By doing so, the carbohydrates get quickly broken down when digested, which translates to increased blood glucose levels sooner after eating. Further, the fibre in refined grains is stripped away by processing, reducing the potential to stabilise blood sugar.
